4-heterocyclyl-substituted quinazoline derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use as anti-cancer agents

ABSTRACT

This invention relates to certain 4-aminoquinazolines and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers thereof, the formula whereof are described herein. The compounds are useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, particularly as anti-cancer agents.

This application was filed under 35 U.S.C. §371 based on PCT/IB95/00061, which was filed on Jan. 27, 1995 which was a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/200,259 which was filed on Feb. 23, 1994 and is now abandoned.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to quinazoline derivatives and methods of using the same, particularly as anti-cancer agents, in mammals.

Many of the current treatment regimes for cancer utilize compounds which inhibit DNA synthesis. Such compounds are toxic to cells generally but their toxic effect on the rapidly dividing tumor cells can be beneficial. Alternative approaches to anti-cancer agents which act by mechanisms other than the direct inhibition of DNA synthesis have been explored in order to enhance the selectivity of action against cancer cells.

It is known that a cell may become cancerous by virtue of the transformation of a portion of its DNA into an oncogene (i.e. a gene which, on activation, leads to the formation of malignant tumor cells). Many oncogenes encode proteins which are aberrant tyrosine kinases capable of causing cell transformation. Alternatively, the overexpression of a normal proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinase may also result in proliferative disorders, sometimes resulting in a malignant phenotype.

Receptor tyrosine kinases are large enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion which functions as a kinase to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residues in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation. It is known that such kinases are frequently aberrantly expressed in common human cancers such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer such as colon, rectal or stomach cancer, leukemia, and ovarian, bronchial or pancreatic cancer. It has also been shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) which possesses tyrosins kinase activity is mutated and/or overexpressed in many human cancers such as brain, lung, squamous cell, bladder, gastric, breast, head and neck, oesophageal, gynecological and thyroid tumors.

Accordingly, it has been recognized that inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases are useful as a selective inhibitors of the growth of mammalian cancer cells, For example, erbstatin, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor selectively attenuates the growth in athymic nude mice of a transplanted human mammary carcinoma which expresses epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) but is without effect on the growth of another carcinoma which does not express the EGF receptor.

Various other compounds, such as styrene derivatives, have also been shown to possess tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. More recently three European patent publications, namely EP 0 566 226 A1, EP 0 602 851 A1 and EP 0 520 722 A1 have disclosed that certain quinazoline derivatives possess anti-cancer properties which result from their tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. Also PCT publication WO 92/20642 discloses bis-mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds as tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

In addition U.S. Pat. No. 4,012,513 discloses certain 1-(heterocyclic)-indol-3-yl-acetic acid derivatives that have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity.

Although the anti-cancer compounds described above make a significant contribution to the art there is a continuing search in this field of art for improved anti-cancer pharmaceuticals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ##STR12##

The Formula I compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be prepared by any process known to be applicable to the preparation of chemically-related compounds.

In general the Formula I quinazolines may be made by preparing the 4-amino adjunct of the appropriately substituted quinazoline using the appropriately substituted mine.

Typically the appropriately substituted 4-haloquinazoline (or a quinazoline bearing a suitable displaceable leaving group in the 4-position such as aryloxy, alkyl sulfonyloxy such as trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy, arylsulfonyloxy, trialkyl-siloxy, cyano, pyrazolo, triazolo or tetrazolo), preferably a 4-chloroquinazoline, is combined with the appropriate amine in a solvent such as a (C₁ -Ca)alcohol, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, chloroform, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4-dioxane, dimethylsulfoxide or other aprotic solvent. This combination may occur in the presence of a base, and it is preferred that this combination occurs in the presence of an alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonate or hydroxide, or a tertiary amine base, such as pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, collidine, N-methyl-morpholine, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, 4-dimethylamino-pyridine or N,N-dimethylaniline. These bases are hereinafter referred to as suitable bases. The mixture is maintained at a temperature of about ambient to about reflux, preferably about 35° C. to about reflux, until substantially no remaining 4-haloquinazoline can be detected, typically about 2 hours to about 24 hours. Preferably, the reaction is performed under an inert atmosphere such as dry nitrogen gas.

Generally the reactants are combined stoichiometrically when an amine base is used (alternatively, if an amine base is not used an excess of the amine may be used) however, for those compounds where a salt (typically HCl) of an amine is used, it is preferable to use excess amine base, generally an extra equivalent of amine base.

For those compounds where a sterically hindered amine (such as a 2-alkyl-indoline) or very reactive 4-haloquinazoline is used it is preferable to use t-butyl alcohol or a polar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, or N-methylpyrolidin-2-one as the solvent.

The following paragraphs facilitate the synthesis of many of the Formula I compounds by appropriate reactions subsequent to the above coupling.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is an amino or hydroxyamino the reduction of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is nitro is employed.

The reduction may conveniently be carried out by any of the many procedures known for such transformations. The reduction may be carried out, for example, by the hydrogenation of a solution of the nitro compound in a reaction-inert solvent in the presence of a suitable metal catalyst such as palladium or platinum. Further suitable reducing agents are, for example, sodium dithionite in formic acid or an activated metal such as activated iron (produced by washing iron powder with a dilute solution of an acid such as hydrochloric acid). Thus, for example, the reduction may be carried out by heating a mixture of the nitro compound and the activated metal in a solvent such as a mixture of water and an alcohol, for example, methanol or ethanol, to a temperature in the range, for example, 50° to 150° C., conveniently at or near 70° C..

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R² is an amino, the reduction of a Formula I compound wherein R² is nitro may be used.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R² or R³ incorporates a primary or secondary amino moiety (other than that amine intended to react with the quinazoline), such free amine is preferably protected prior to the above described reaction followed by deprotection, subsequent to the above described reaction with 4-haloquinazoline.

For a description of protecting groups and their use, see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", Second Ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.

Several well known nitrogen protecting groups can be used. Such groups include (C₁ -C₆)alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, trityl, vinyloxycarbonyl, o-nitrophenylsulfonyl, diphenylphosphinyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, and benzyl, The addition of the nitrogen protecting group may be carried out in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent such as methylene chloride or 1,2dichloroethane, or an ethereal solvent such as glyme, diglyme or THF, in the presence or absence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or pyridine, preferably triethylamine, at a temperature from about 0° C. to about 50° C., preferably about ambient temperature. Alternatively, the protecting groups are conveniently attached using Schotten-Baumann conditions.

Subsequent to the above described amine coupling reaction the protecting group may be removed by deprotecting methods known to those skilled in the art such as trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride for the tert-butoxycarbonyl protected products.

For the production of those compounds of the Formula I wherein R¹ is hydroxy, the cleavage of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is (C₁ -C₄)alkoxy is preferred.

The cleavage reaction may conveniently be carried out by any of the many procedures known for such a transformation. Treatment of the quinazoline derivative of Formula I with molten pyridine hydrochloride (20-30 eq.) at 150° to 175° C. may be employed for such O-dealkylations. Alternatively, the reaction may be carried out, for example, by treatment of the quinazoline derivative with an alkali metal (C₁ -C₄)alkylsulphide such as sodium ethanethiolate or, for example, by treatment with an alkali metal diarylphosphide such as lithium diphenylphosphide. Alternatively the cleavage reaction may conveniently be carded out, for example, by treatment of the quinazoline derivative with a boron or aluminum trihalide such as boron tribromide. Such reactions are preferably carried out in the presence of a reaction-inert solvent and at a suitable temperature.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ or R² is a (C₁ -C₄)alkylsulphinyl or (C₁ -C₄)alkylsulphonyl group, the oxidation of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ or R² is a (C₁ -C₄)alkylthio group is preferred.

A suitable oxidizing agent is, for example, an agent known in the art for the oxidation of thio to sulphinyl and/or sulphonyl, for example, hydrogen peroxide, a peracid (such as 3-chloroperbenzoic, performic or peracetic acid), an alkali metal peroxysulphate (such as potassium peroxymonosulphate), chromium trioxide or gaseous oxygen in the presence of platinum. The oxidation is generally carried out under as mild conditions as possible and with the required stoichiometric amount of oxidizing agent in order to reduce the risk of over oxidation and damage to other functional groups. In general the reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, acetone, tetrahydrofuran or tert-butyl methyl ether and at a temperature, for example, -25° to 50° C., conveniently at or near ambient temperature, that is in the range of 15° to 35° C. When a compound carrying a sulphinyl group is required a milder oxidizing agent may also be used, for example sodium or potassium metaperiodate, conveniently in a polar solvent such as acetic acid or ethanol. It will be appreciated that when a compound of the Formula I containing a (C₁ -C₄)alkylsulphonyl group is required, it may be obtained by oxidation of the corresponding (C₁ -C₄)alkylsulphinyl compound as well as of the corresponding (C₁ -C₄)alkylthio compound.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is (C₂ -C₄)alkanoylamino or substituted (C₂ -C₄)alkanoylamino, ureido, 3-phenylureido, benzamido, or sulfonamido, the acylation or sulfonation of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is amino is appropriate.

A suitable acylating agent is, for example, any agent known in the art for the acylation of amino to acylamino, for example an acyl halide (e.g., a (C₂ -C₄)alkanoyl chloride or bromide or a benzoyl chloride or bromide), an alkanoic acid anhydride or mixed anhydride (e.g., (C₂ -C₄)alkanoic acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride or the mixed anhydride formed by the reaction of an alkanoic acid and a (C₁ -C₄)alkoxycarbonyl halide, for example (C₁ -C₄)alkoxycarbonyl chloride, in the presence of a suitable base). For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is ureido or 3-phenylureido, a suitable acylating agent is, for example, a cyanate, for example an alkali metal cyanate such as sodium cyanate or, for example, an isocyanate such as phenyl isocyanate. N-Sulfonylations may be carried out with suitable sulfonyl halides or sulfonylanhydrides in the presence of a tertiary amine base. In general the acylation or sulfonylation is carried out in a reaction-inert solvent and at a temperature, in the range, for example, -30° to 120° C., conveniently at or near ambient temperature.

For the production of those compounds of Formula 1 wherein R¹ is (C₁ -C₄)alkoxy or substituted (C₁ -C₄)alkoxy or R¹ is (C₁ -C₄)alkylamino or substituted mono-N- or di-N,N-(C₁ -C₄)alkylamino, the alkylation, preferably in the presence of a suitable base, of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is hydroxy or amino as appropriate may be preferred.

A suitable alkylating agent is, for example, any agent known in the art for the alkylation of hydroxy to alkoxy or substituted alkoxy, or for the alkylation of amino to alkylamino or substituted alkylamino, for example an alkyl or substituted alkyl halide, for example a (C₁ -C₄)alkyl chloride, bromide or iodide or a substituted (C₁ -C₄)alkyl chloride, bromide or iodide, in the presence of a suitable base in a reaction-inert solvent and at a temperature in the range, for example, 10° to 140° C., conveniently at or near ambient temperature.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is an amino-, oxy- or cyano-substituted (C₁ -C₄)alkyl substituent, the reaction, preferably in the presence of a suitable base, of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is a (C₁ -C₄)alkyl substituent bearing a displaceable group with an appropriate amine, alcohol or cyanide is appropriate. The reaction is preferably carried out in a reaction-inert solvent or diluent and at a temperature in the range, for example, 10° to 100° C., conveniently at or near ambient temperature.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹, R², or R³ is a carboxy substituent or a substituent which includes a carboxy group, the hydrolysis of a Formula I compound wherein the respective R¹, R² or R³ is a (C₁ -C₄)alkoxycarbonyl substituent or a substituent which includes a (C₁ -C₄)alkoxycarbonyl group is desirable.

The hydrolysis may conveniently be performed, for example, under basic conditions such as an alkali metal hydroxide mediated hydrolysis as illustrated in the accompanying Examples.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is amino, (C₁ -C₄)alkylamino, di- (C₁ -C₄)alkyl!amino, pyrrolidin-1-yl, piperidino, morpholino, piperazin-1-yl, 4-(C₁ -C₄)alkylpiperazin-1-yl or (C₁ -C₄)alkythio, the reaction, conveniently in the presence of a suitable base, of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is a displaceable group with an appropriate amine or thiol may be preferred.

The reaction is preferably carried out, usually in the presence of a suitable base, in a reaction-inert solvent or diluent and at a temperature in the range, for example, 10° to 180° C., conveniently in the range 100° to 150° C.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R¹ is 2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl or 2-oxopiperidin-1-yl, the cyclisation, in the presence of a suitable base, of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is a halogen-(C₂ -C₄)alkanoylamino group is convenient.

The reaction is preferably carded out, usually in the presence of a suitable base, in a reaction-inert solvent or diluent and at a temperature in the range, for example, 10° to 100° C., conveniently at or near ambient temperature.

For the production of compounds of Formula I in which R¹ is carbamoyl, substituted carbamoyl, alkanoyloxy or substituted alkanoyloxy, the carbamoylation or acylation of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is hydroxy is convenient.

Suitable acylating agents are for example any agent known in the art for acylation of hydroxyaryl moieties to alkanoyloxy aryl. For example, (C₂ -C₄)alkanoyl halides, (C₂ -C₄)alkanoyl anhydrides or mixed anhydrides, and suitable substituted derivatives thereof may be employed, typically in the presence of a suitable base. Alternatively, (C₂ -C₄)alkanoic acids or suitably substituted derivatives thereof may be coupled with a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is hydroxy with the aid of a condensing agent such as a carbodiimide. For the production of those compounds of Formula I in which R¹ is carbamoyl or substituted carbamoyl, suitable carbarnoylating agents are for example a cyanate or an alkyl or aryl isocyanate, typically in the presence of a suitable base. Alternatively a suitable intermediate such as the chloroformate, succinimido carbonate, or imidazolocarbonyl derivative of a quinazoline of Formula I in which R¹ is hydroxy may be generated, for example by treatment of said derivative with phosgene (or a phosgene equivalent), disuccinimidocarbonate, or carbonyldiimidazole. The resulting intermediate may then be reacted with an appropriate amine or substituted amine to produce the desired carbamoyl derivatives.

For the production of quinazoline derivatives of Formula I wherein R¹ is aminocarbonyl or a substituted aminocarbonyl, the aminolysis of a suitable intermediate derived from a quinazoline of Formula I in which R¹ is carboxy is preferred.

The activation and coupling of a Formula I compound wherein R¹ is carboxy may be performed by a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. Suitable methods include activation of the carboxyl as an acid halide, azide, symmetric or mixed anhydride, or active ester of appropriate reactivity for coupling with the desired amine. Examples of such types of intermediates and their production and use in couplings with mines may be found extensively in the literature; for example M. Bodansky and A. Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis", Springer,-Verlag, New York, 1984.

The resulting Formula I compounds may be isolated and purified by standard methods, such as solvent removal and recrystallization or chromatography, if desired.

The starting materials for the above described reaction schemes (e.g., mines, quinazolines, amine protecting groups) are readily available or can be easily synthesized by those skilled in the art using conventional methods of organic synthesis. For example, the preparation of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives are described in R. C. Elderfield, W. H. Todd, S. Gerber, Ch. 12 in "Heterocyclic Compounds", Vol. 6, R. C. Elderfield ed., John Wiley and Sons, Inc., N.Y., 1957. Substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzothiazinyl compounds are described in R. C. Elderfield and E. E. Harris, Ch. 13 in Volume 6 of the Elderfield "Heterocyclic Compounds" book. The synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines and their quinoline precursors are described in for example, "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds", Vol. 32, Parts 1,2 and 3, G. Jones, ed., John Wiley and Sons, N.Y., 1977. Alkyl and aryl-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines were typically prepared by the catalytic hydrogenation of the appropriately substituted quinolines using Pt₂ O/H₂(g) in MeOH (for example by the procedure of M. Honel and F. W. Vierhapper, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin I 1980, 1933-1939). The synthesis of substituted 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo(b)azepines is described in G. R. Proctor, Ch. II, Vol.43, "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds", Part I, A. Rosowsky, ed., Wiley Interscience, N.Y. 1984. Certain substituted 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzo b!azepin-2-ones and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-1-benzo b!azocin-2-ones which are readily reduced to the corresponding 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo b!azepines and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-1-benzo- b!azocines, respectively are described in E. C. Homing et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 74, 5153 (1952), and R. Huisgen et al, Liebigs Ann. Chem. 586, 30 (1954).

In addition, the following general description in conjunction with Reaction Scheme I and the Preparations (which can be analogized therefrom) are provided as an additional aid to the preparation of the indoline based mines.

Thus, according to Scheme I the desired Formula II, III, IV or V indoline based compounds may be conveniently prepared by reduction of the corresponding Formula IX indole based compounds (the dotted line circles refer to the fused monocyclic and bicyclic moieties of Formulas III, IV and V).

In general, the Formula IX compounds bearing aprotic R² or R³ substituents are treated with ZnBH₄ (prepared from ZnCl₂ and NaBH₄ according to W. J. Gensler et al., J. Am. Soc. 82, 6074-6081 (1960)) in an etheral solvent such as diethyl ether at a temperature of about 10° C. to about 40° C., preferably at ambient. Such treatment is described in H. Korsuki et al., Heterocycles 26, 1771-1774 (1987). Alternatively, the Formula IX compounds may be treated with a borane/pyridine complex (or other borane/tertiary amine complex) in the absence of solvent, or presence of solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of about 10° C. to about 30° C., preferably at ambient, followed by treatment of the mixture with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid or acetic acid to provide compounds of Formula II, III, IV or V.

The desired Formula IX compounds wherein p is one or two may be prepared from the appropriate Formula XIV compound via a Fisher Indole synthesis or modification thereof ("The Fischer Indole Synthesis", B. Robinson, Wiley Interscience, N.Y., 1982; or alternatively U. Pindur, R. Adam, J. Het. Chem. 25, 1-8 (1988) and references therein).

The Formula IX indoles wherein p is zero may typically be prepared from the Formula XII aniline-type compounds from either of two mutes: via the Formula X compounds or the Formula XI compounds. However, the route via Formula XI compound is not preferred for preparation of nitro or carboalkoxy substituted indoles.

Thus, the desired Formula IX compound may be prepared from the appropriate Formula X compound (e.g., isatins, oxindoles) by reduction, or from the appropriate Formula XI compound via a reductive cyclization. In general the Formula X compound is treated with borane in an etheral solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 30° C., preferably ambient. Generally the Formula XI compound is treated with sodium borohydride in an etheral solvent such as dioxane at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 100° C., preferably reflux.

The desired Formula X isatin compound may be prepared from the appropriate Formula XII compound by combination with chloral hydrate and hydroxylamine followed by an acid catalyzed cyclization, such process being adapted from Org. Syn., Coll. Vol. I, 327-330.

The desired Formula XI compound may be prepared from the appropriate Formula XII compound by a Lewis acid catalyzed ortho-acylation. The typical preparation is adapted from T. Sugasawa et al., J. Org. Chem. 44 (4), 578-586 (1979). In general, the Formula XII compound is reacted with 2-chloroacetonitrile in the presence of boron trichloride and an auxiliary acid catalyst such as aluminum chloride, typically in an aromatic solvent such as xylene, toluene or chlorobenzene at a temperature of about 50° C. to about reflux.

The desired Formula XII aminoaromatic compounds may be prepared from the appropriate corresponding nitroaromatic compounds by various reductive methods (such as those given above).

Alternatively, some of the desired Formula II, III, IV or V indoline-based compounds may be prepared from other of the above described indoline-based compounds by further modification prior to combination with the quinazoline moieties of Formula I.

For example, the appropriately substituted desired 5-hydroxyindole may be prepared from the corresponding indolines by hydroxylation according to an adaptation of the procedure of H. J. Teuber and G. Staiger, Chem. Ber. 89,489-508 (1955) followed by reduction to achieve the corresponding 5-hydroxyindoline. Generally, potassium nitrosodisulfonate in aqueous phosphate buffer is added to the appropriately substituted indoline in acetone at neutral pH at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 25° C. to produce the 5-hydroxyindole derivative, which may be subsequently reduced with borane/pyridine/aqueous HCl to afford the 5-hydroxyindoline.

The appropriately substituted desired bromoindolines (e.g., in the 4- or 6position) may be prepared from the corresponding indolines by bromination analogous to the procedure described by: Y. Miyake and Y. Kikugawa, J. Het. Chem. 20, 349-352 (1983). This procedure may also be utilized for brominations of other larger rings (e.g., 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo b!azepines and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-benzo b!azocines, particularly in the 5/7, 6/8, and 7/9-positions). Generally, the appropriately substituted indoline is reacted with bromine in the presence of a halophile such as silver sulfate under strongly acidic conditions at 0° C. to 25° C.

In addition, certain indolines with or without 3-alkyl substituents may conveniently be prepared from the appropriate 2-(2-halophenyl)alkylamines according to the German patent application DE 3424900A1.

In addition, hydroxyalkylindolines can be prepared by reduction of the appropriate carboxylic acids or their esters, for example according to E. J. Corey et. al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 92 (8), 2476-2488 (1970).

The appropriately substituted desired alkyl, alkenyl or allylic substituted indolines may be prepared from the corresponding trialkylsilyl-protected 4-, 5- or 6-haloindolines via a Nickel-phosphine catalyzed Grignard addition analogous to the general procedure described by K. Tamao et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan 49, 1958-1969 (1976). Generally, the indoline is N-protected by reaction with tert-butyldimethylsilyltriflate in a halogenated solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine. The N-silylated halo-indoline is subsequently reacted with the appropriate alkyl, alkenyl or allylic Grignard in an etheral solvent in the presence of a suitable nickel-phosphine complex, typically Ni(dppe)Cl₂ !. Subsequent treatment with methanol containing a trace of acid such as trifuoroacetic acid, or with fluoride anion in a suitable solvent such as THF, liberates the desired indoline product.

In addition, the desired substituted alkenyl- or alkynyl- indolines may be prepared by the palladium-catalyzed vinylation or alkynylation of the appropriate 4-, ,5-, 6- or 7-haloindoline, for example, according to references reviewed by V. N. Kalinin, Synthesis 1991, 413-432. For example, for alkynylindolines, generally the corresponding bromo- or iodoindoline in diethylamine is treated with an alkyl-, appropriately substituted alkyl, or trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of catalytic mounts of Cul and Pd(PPh₃)₄ at reflux.

Further, in addition to the nonlimiting examples provided herein the preparation of various indolines, indoles, oxindoles, and isatins useful as intermediates are further described in "Heterocyclic Compounds with Indole and Carbazole Systems", W. C. Sumpter and F. M. Miller, in Vol. 8 of "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds" Series, Interscience Publishers Inc., N.Y., 1954 and references contained therein.

Certain Formula I quinazolines can exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms such as, for example, hydrated forms. It is to be understood that the invention encompasses all such solvated as well as unsolvated forms which possess activity against hyperproliferative diseases.

A suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable salt of a quinazoline derivative of the invention is, for example, an acid-addition salt of a quinazoline derivative of the invention which is sufficiently basic, for example an acid-addition salt with, for example, an inorganic or organic acid, for example, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, trifluoroacetic, citric, lactic or maleic acid. In addition a suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable base-addition salt of a quinazoline derivative of the invention which is sufficiently acidic is an alkali metal salt, for example a lithium, sodium or potassium salt; an alkaline earth metal salt, for example a calcium or magnesium salt; an ammonium salt; or a salt with an organic base which affords a physiologically-acceptable cation for example a salt with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. All such salts are within the scope of this invention and they can be prepared by conventional methods. For example, they can be prepared simply by contacting the acidic and basic entities, usually in a stoichiometric ratio, in either an aqueous, non-aqueous or partially aqueous medium, as appropriate. The salts are recovered either by filtration, by precipitation with a non-solvent, preferably an etheral or hydrocarbon solvent, followed by filtration, by evaporation of the solvent, or, in the case of aqueous solutions, by lyophilization, as appropriate.

Some of the compounds of Formula I incorporate asymmetric carbon atoms. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known per se., for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixtures into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., alcohol or acid), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomer. Alternatively, enantiomers may be resolved by differential crystallizations as diastereomeric salts. All such isomers, including diastereomers and enantiomers are considered as pert of the invention.

The compounds of this invention are potent inhibitors of the erbB family of oncogenic and protooncogenic protein tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), erbB2, HER3, or HER4 and thus are all adapted to therapeutic use as antiproliferative agents (e.g., anticancer) in mammals, particularly humans. In particular, the compounds of this invention are therapeutants or prophylactics for the treatment of a variety of benign or malignant human tumors (renal, liver, kidney, bladder, breast, gastric, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, lung, vulval, thyroid, hepatic carcinomas, sarcomas, glioblastomas, various head and neck tumors), and other noncancerous hyperplastic disorders such as benign hyperplasia of the skin (e.g., psoriasis) or prostate (e.g., BPH). Such activity against benign disorders can be determined by standard assays such as described in J. Invest. Dermatol. 98, 296-301 (1992). It is in addition expected that a quinazoline of the present invention may possess activity against a range of leukemias and lymphoid malignancies.

The compounds of Formula I also potentiate responses to conventional cancer chemotherapies and radiotherapy in a dose and schedule-dependent manner based upon the substantial synergy observed between neutralizing anti-EGFR antibodies and conventional chemotherapeutants (J. Baselga et al., J. Nat. Cancer Inst. 85, 1327-1333 (1993); Z. Fan et al., Cancer. Res. 53, 4637-4642 (1993)).

The compounds of Formula I may also be expected to be useful in the treatment of additional disorders in which aberrant expression, ligand/receptor interactions, activation, or signalling events related to various protein tyrosine kinases, whose activity is inhibited by the agents of Formula I, are involved.

Such disorders may include those of neuronal, glial, astrocytal, hypothalamic, and other glandular, macrophagal, epithelial, stromal, and blastocoelic nature in which aberrant function, expression, activation or signalling of the erbB tyrosine kinases may be involved. In addition, compounds of Formula I may have therapeutic utility in inflammatory, angiogenic and immunologic disorders involving both identified and as yet unidentified tyrosine kinases which are inhibited by compounds of Formula I.

The in vitro activity of these compounds in inhibiting the receptor tyrosine kinase (and thus subsequent proliferative response, e.g., cancer) may be determined by a procedure as detailed below.

Activity of compounds of Formula I in vitro can be determined by the amount of inhibition of the phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate (e.g., Lys₃ -Gastrin or polyGluTyr (4:1) random copolymer (I. Posner et. al., J. Biol. Chem. 267 (29), 20638-47 (1992)) on tyrosine by epidermal growth factor receptor kinase by a test compound relative to a control. Affinity purified, soluble human EGF receptor (96 ng) is obtained according to the procedure in G. N. Gill, W. Weber, Methods in Enzymology 146, 82-88 (1987) from A431 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md.) and preincubated in a microfuge tube with EGF (2 μg/ml) in phosphorylation buffer+vanadate (PBV: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4; 125 mM NaCl; 24 mM MgCl₂ ; 100 μM sodium orthovanadate), in a total volume of 10 μl, for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. The test compound, dissolved in DMSO, is diluted in PBV, and 10 μl is mixed with the EGF receptor/EGF mix, and incubated for 10-30 minutes at 30° C. The phosphorylation reaction is initiated by addition of 20 μl ³³ P-ATP/substrate mix (120 μM Lys₃ -Gastrin (sequence in single letter code for amino acids, KKKGPWLEEEEEAYGWLDF), 50 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 40 μM ATP, 2 μCi y- ³³ P!-ATP) to the EGFr/EGF mix and incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. The reaction is stopped by addition of 10 μl stop solution (0.5M EDTA, pH 8; 2 mM ATP) and 6 μl 2N HCl. The tubes are centrifuged at 14,000 RPM, 4° C., for 10 minutes. 35 μl of supernatant from each tube is pipetted onto a 2.5 cm circle of Whatman P81 paper, bulk washed four times in 5% acetic acid, 1 liter per wash, and then air dried. This results in the binding of substrate to the paper with loss of free ATP on washing. The ³³ P! incorporated is measured by liquid scintillation counting. Incorporation in the absence of substrate (e.g., lys₃ -gastrin) is subtracted from all values as a background and percent inhibition is calculated relative to controls without test compound present.

Activity of compounds of Formula I in vivo can be determined by the amount of inhibition of tumor growth by a test compound relative to a control. The tumor growth inhibitory effects of various compounds are measured according to the methods of Corbett, T. H., et al. "Tumor Induction Relationships in Development of Transplantable Cancers of the Colon in Mice for Chemotherapy Assays, with a Note on Carcinogen Structure", Cancer Res., 35, 2434-2439 (1975) and Corbett, T. H., et al., "A Mouse Colon-tumor Model for Experimental Therapy", Cancer Chemother. Rep. (Part 2)", 5, 169-186 (1975), with slight modifications. Tumors are induced in the left flank by s.c. injection of 1×10⁶ log phase cultured tumor cells (human MDA-MB-468 breast or human HN5 head and neck carcinoma cells) suspended in 0.10 ml RPMI 1640. After sufficient time has elapsed for the tumors to become palpable (2-3 mm in diameter) the test animals (athymic mice) are treated with compound (formulated by dissolution in DMSO typically at a concentration of 50 to 100 mg/mL followed by 1:9 dilution into 0.1% Pluronic® P105 in 0.9% saline) by the intraperitoneal (ip) or oral (po) routes of administration twice daily (i.e., every 12 hours) for 5 consecutive days. In order to determine a tumor growth inhibition, the tumor is measured in millimeters with Vernier calipers across two diameters and the tumor size (mg) is calculated using the formula: Tumor weight (TuW)=(length× width!²)/2, according to the methods of Geran, R. I., et al. "Protocols for Screening Chemical Agents and Natural Products Against Animal Tumors and Other Biological Systems", Third Edition, Cancer Chemother. Rep., 3, 1-104 (1972). Results are expressed as percent inhibition, according to the formula: Inhibition (%)=(TuW_(control) -TuW_(test))/TuW_(control) ×100%. The flank site of tumor implantation provides reproducible dose/response effects for a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, and the method of measurement (tumor diameter) is a reliable method for assessing tumor growth rates.

Administration of the compounds of this invention can be via any method which enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action (e.g., cancer cells). These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), topical administration, etc.

The amount of compound of this invention administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the severity of the affliction, on the manner of administration and on the judgment of the prescribing physician. However an effective dosage is in the range of approximately 0.1-100 mg/kg, preferably 1 to 35 mg/kg in single or divided doses. For an average 70 kg human, this would mount to 0.05 to 7 g/day, preferably 0.2 to 2.5 g/day. For topical administration (e.g., for psoriasis) a suitable formulation would include 0.01% to 5% of a compound of this invention, preferably 0.05% to 0.5%. Preferably the topical administration is applied directly to the site of affliction.

The pharmaceutical composition of the invention may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained release formulations, solution, suspension, for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository. The pharmaceutical composition may be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. The pharmaceutical compositions will include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a compound according to the invention as an active ingredient. In addition, it may include other medicinal or pharmaceutical agents, carriers, adjuvants, etc.

Pharmaceutical compositions for non-topical administration according to the invention may contain 0.1%-95% of the compound, preferably 1%-70%. In any event, the composition or formulation to be administered will contain a quantity of a compound according to the invention in an amount effective to alleviate or reduce the signs in the subject being treated, i.e., proliferative disorders, over the course of the treatment.

Exemplary parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of a compound according to the invention Formula I in sterile aqueous solutions, for example aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions are employed. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if desired.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or fillers, water and various organic solvents. These pharmaceutical compositions can, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as citric acid can be employed, together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates and with binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials therefore include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When the aqueous suspensions or elixirs are desired for oral administration the essential active ingredient therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired, emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together with diluents such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.

Methods of preparing various pharmaceutical compositions with a certain mount of active ingredient are known, or will be apparent in light of this disclosure, to those skilled in this art. For examples, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences., Mack Publishing Company, Easter, Pa., 15th Edition (1975).

The anticancer treatment described above may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve, in addition to the quinazoline derivative of the invention, one or more other antitumor substances or radiotherapy. Such conjoint treatment may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential, cyclic or separate dosing of the individual components of the treatment.

It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments shown and described herein, but that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this novel concept as defined by the following claims.
